Blackpool posts

I just previewed my blog and I noticed that the images are a bit slow with loading, I do apologise that is because I didn't change the image size which was discuss at University Friday afternoon. Also, the layout is a bit bland and plain and rubbish, I will try my best to change it for future post, so I am sorry my dear reader but you should only have to endure this mess for the two Blackpool posts, I promise.

Thanks for reading

Blackpool Unlit

I don't know why but I like to think of Blackpool as the less impressive, British version of Las Vegas, especially when the lights are on. The last time I went to Blackpool I was a child so I didn't really remember it. Blackpool to me is like bit strange but pretty and it is like two completely different places. During the day it is like a normal sea side place, its has the piers, amusements, and little cafes and shops but it still has a strangeness about it.
I would like to go Blackpool to a photography project because it is a interesting place and 2 days just isn't enough time to see everything that Blackpool has to offer.
Just a reminder that these images may look like snapshots or something that a tourist would take.

Sorry

Hi All,
Sorry nothing has been posted in the last 2 weeks but I have been on holiday and I haven't had access to the internet. Over the next week or so I will be posting some images that I have taken on my travels of Blackpool, Edinburgh, York and the surrounding areas of Bournemouth. The Photos that I will be posting I class as snapshots or tourist photography, the photos may not be the best but they have given me some good ideas for projects in the future.

Social Networking

It's funny how social networking sites are meant to be the "best things ever", but what's the point if you can not use them because they have issues. There are some decent people out there that will use social networking sites just as another means to talk to their friends, to promote their business so they can earn more money or to get themselves noticed, these people seem to have more issues caused by Facebook and Twitter then the people who use these sites for bullying, and to post obscene photos of themselves or others however their accounts never seem to be blocked or suspended.

This post has been caused by Twitter (who suspended my account) and Facebook (that seems to fight with me at every opportunity) when trying to set up photography pages for a project at university.
"I'm not gonna let them win though fight too the death." quote supplied from Mica Wright, check out her blog at http://www.photographymicajwright.blogspot.co.uk

I set up a new Twitter account for my project on 30th September 2014 and I did the things that they ask you to do when opening a Twitter account like choosing the type of people that you want to follow, adding a short biography so people know who you are, adding a cover photo (not profile photo because I didn't have one on me) and posting your first tweet (which was check out my blog and my blog link). I left my account for a day or two because I didn't have the time to access it, but when I did log on next, across the top of my twitter was a notification saying that my Twitter account had been suspended. Being confused about this I clicked on more information which comes up with another page saying "Accounts are generally suspended for violations of the Twitter rules. We may also suspend accounts if we suspect an account has been hacked or compromised". I didn't think that my account had been hacked or compromised so I click on Twitter rules. These are the twitter:

• Impersonation. - Impersonate others to mislead, confuse or deceive others.
• Trademark.- Usernames on behalf of businesses or individuals that hold legal claim or trademark on those usernames. 
• Private Information. - You may not post or publish any other persons personal information.
• Violence and Threats. - You must not post or private message any threats of violence against others.
• Copyright. 
• Unlawful use. - You may not use our services for any unlawful purposes. 
• Misuse of Twitter badges.

As far as I am aware I did not breach or break any of these rules because when set up the account.

As far as Facebook is concerned, it constantly argues with me and it will not respond to the simple things that is expected of it. Facebook allows you to write statuses, share images on with friends and send friend requests. I know this is still the first Facebook page that I have made however it should still work in the same way as your personal profile.
